Abstract (en)

The lock is formed from a fork (6) which engages a striker (4) pin and is itself engaged at one end by a catch (10); its main characteristic is that between the fork (6) and catch (10) there is interposed a rotatable insert (20) which pivots at one end against the catch (10) and is arranged to cooperate at its other end with the hook-shaped end (16) of the fork (6), said insert (20) being dragged rigidly with the catch (10) by a spring (25) connected to the insert (20) eccentric to the position in which this latter pivots against the catch (10).
